anal veins; branches of CuA arising dichotomously, more curved 
than those of Rs and M ; apex of wing much nearer the anterior wing 
margin than the posterior. Area between CuA and CuP with a 
coarse reticulation of cross veins. Hind wing unknown. 
Type-species: Homocladus grandis , n. sp. 
This genus differs from Strephocladus in lacking the straight, 
oblique branches to the costa, and in having the branches of CuA 
arising dichotomously, instead of pectinately; it differs from Spargop- 
tilon by its more slender wing shape, the pectinate, instead of dichot- 
omous, branching of Rs, and in the position of the distally extended 
part of CuP.
